Moreover, this studyemphasizes the need for writing and communication classes that target multiple audiences as anintegral part of any graduate-level engineering curriculum.1. Introduction In the groundbreaking 1980 book Metaphors We Live By, Lakoff and Johnson explain that ratherthan simply serving as a poetic device, metaphor structures “how we perceive, how we think, andwhat we do” every day [1, p. 4]. In the decades since their book was first published, cognitivelinguists have researched how we express conceptual metaphors linguistically [2]-[5], proposeddifferent mechanisms for how we mentally process

Design justice rethinks design processes, centers people whoare normally marginalized by design, and uses collaborative, creative practices to address thedeepest challenges our communities face.” [1]. Two core tenets of the Design Justice movementare that “absolutely anyone can participate meaningfully in design,” and “those who are directlyaffected by the issues a project aims to address must be at the center of the design process.” [4]Engineering education community and design researchers generally agree that pedagogicalinnovations are needed to ensure that current and future technologies are

, transformational change1. IntroductionInstitutions offering engineering programs often implement generalized change strategies, butthese strategies tend to have little impact on institutional culture. Since the late 1980s, Tierneyhas argued that institutions with similar missions and curricula can have different outcomesbased on how their identities are communicated to internal and external constituents and theperceptions held by these groups [1]. The results of such changes, however, may be confined to aspecific area of the institution, or the institutional environment may not be responsive to thechanges implemented [2]. Faculty and administrators must implement intentional and continuouschange strategies to address complex institutional challenges [3

-ethics, Undergraduate EducationIntroductionEngineers are fundamentally problem solvers. Sometimes engineering solutions come withethical implications, this is what engineering ethics courses aim to help students betterunderstand. Ethics education for engineers takes many different forms across a wide variety ofinstitutions. As Hess and Fore attest, “... there is neither a consensus throughout the engineeringeducation community regarding which strategies are most effective towards which ends, norwhich ends are most important.”1 Believing that student self-awareness and the capacity toidentify and effectively communicate their own values is an “end” worth pursuing, we created anengineering ethics course for that purpose.

The main findingsrevealed that the deep learning method was effective in big data analysis due to its ability toforecast students’ achievements, behaviors, and future paths. Therefore, we considered thatdeep learning could be widely applied as a technique to develop recommender systems tosupport personalized learning environments. Furthermore, because we found that only a fewstudies have investigated the implementation of this AI technology, researchers will have agreat opportunity to explore deep learning to develop more innovative solutions ineducational fields.Keywords: Deep learning, Recommender systems, Personalized learning environments,Artificial intelligence.1

Being able to reflect and evaluate oneself is vital to becomingsuccessful in college. While some students are overconfident, others are underconfident abouttheir academic ability and strengths [1]. Overconfident students are usually confounded wheninstructors’ assessment of their academic task did not meet up with their expectations.

InEngineering Design Graphics, opportunities exist to integrate experiential learning, howevermany schools, particularly community colleges, are limited by a lack of lab space dedicated forthis purpose. While students are still able to carry out a design project and benefit from many ofthe learning outcomes desired, the limitations of space and time remain.

A hurdle tocurriculum change is that faculty have not been trained in sustainability concepts and typicallydo not teach across colleges. They are also unsure of how to address DEI, not wanting to get itwrong and cause harm as they experiment in the classroom. Some programs have therefore takena “train the trainer” approach, holding faculty workshops [1, 2]. The effectiveness of suchworkshops is not altogether clear; for example, instructors’ confidence in identifying effectiveways to include sustainability into their courses may not increase.

Much of this work has focused on engineering identity, or professionalidentity, formation and highlighting the interplay between individual identity and engineeringculture [4]–[6]. While work in engineering identity has become a prominent area of engineeringeducation research, it can also be somewhat narrow. Implicitly, studies in engineering identitytend to position students’ formation of an engineering identity as a positive outcome thatpromotes retention in the field [7]–[9] and students’ lack of engineering identity formation as aproblem to solve.

This solution not only provided the students with equitable infrastructure for doing all the required projects and hands-on experiments remotely but also could be used as a learning opportunity to provide students with more insight into the setup, design, functionality, and purpose of lab equipment. While in typical academic years and in the normal (in-person) mode of operation, the sophomore students in this course learned to use the laboratory equipment for doing projects and lab experiments, in this remote course students additionally learned how these equipment are designed and built through building one – the test-board – as one of their first projects.
